Male life expectancy rises to 90

Men could live until the age of 90 according to new research which has revealed that the life expectancy of 65 year olds has increased in recent years.

A survey of mortality rates by actuaries in 1997 suggested that by 2005 a 65 year old man could expect to live until he was just over 83 years old.

However, new findings by an arm of the Actuarial Profession (AP), Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI), has found that the life expectancy is more like 86 years and seven months, and could increase to ninety years over time.
